The artist Nohana Sayama visited the London Hub for a Winsor & Newton session.

On Thursday last week, we were delighted to welcome artist Nohana Sayama to the London Hub for an immersive Winsor & Newton brand engagement session.

Nohana is the 2025 winner of the Cass Art Watercolour Award (sponsored by Winsor & Newton) and will be collaborating closely with Cass Art and our UK team throughout 2026 on a some key initiatives.

During Nohana’s visit, she got to explore the Winsor & Newton history and historic archive, led by Stephanie Nebbia, who brought it to life with intricate and fascinating storytelling.

Nohana then spent time with Mark Cann, where she explored modern methodologies and got hands-on in creating her own watercolour.

Mark Cass and team members of his artist partnerships, content and social team joined on the day and got to capture behind-the-scenes content and a brief Q&A session with Nohana which will be shared across Cass channels and will spotlight Winsor & Newton’s ongoing commitment to artist engagement.

Reflecting on the experience, Nohana said:“It was such an informative and exciting day. I was able to see (and touch!) so many precious Winsor & Newton archives and learn about the development of watercolours in a way I never would have otherwise.”

Looking ahead, we’re excited to share that in August 2026, Nohana’s winning artwork from the Cass Art Prize 2025 will find its permanent home at the London Hub… so stay tuned!
